Emerald (Japanese: エメラルド) is the eleventh main character of the manga series Pokémon Special. His origin is unknown, although Latios and Latias are very close to him, calling him "Rald".

He first appeared in the Battle Frontier, having been brought there by Latios and Latias. There he met Todd. After he bound and gagged Template:Tucker and stole his Salamence, Emerald was about to be banned from the Frontier, until it was revealed that Emerald was attracting media attention. Upon the risk of losing major publicity, the Frontier Brains and Scott eventually agreed to his challenge: he would defeat all of the seven Brains within seven days.

Emerald seems to have an issue with his own height, as he wears his hair tall, clothing with extra long sleeves, and platform shoes. Much of his clothing appears to be intended to make him look taller than he really is. Even despite this, Emerald is much shorter than he already appears, as revealed by Template:Greta and Todd while he is sleeping.

Emerald doesn't like Pokémon themselves, but he likes Pokémon battles. To the amazement of Todd, he is an expert at battling. As he does not train his own Pokémon, he borrows the Pokémon he uses from Crystal.

Later on, Emerald's reason for visiting the Frontier is revealed: he was assigned by Professor Oak and Crystal to capture Jirachi. He attempted first time after his fight with Template:Brandon at the Battle Pyramid and was almost successful. However, after that, he went back to his original challenge.

Despite his protests, his Pokémon love him greatly and tend to get jealous of each other; recently, his Sudowoodo (revealed to be female because of its motherly nature) and Sceptile got into an argument over Emerald's food and began cooking with berries in a frenzy before being broken up by Emerald's Dusclops. His Sceptile's interest in Emerald's Pokédex indicated that it evolved from Wally's Grovyle. This was later confirmed.

Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia.

Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon that have been illegally added to the Battle Frontier, and has taken three of these cured Pokémon as his own.

It was later revealed that he was one of the orphans that Crys was helping. He looked up to her and wanted a Pokédex of his own, Professor Oak did offer it to him at one point but he declined. He spent his time roaming around Hoenn and met the Trick Master, who gave him the gadgets that were inspired by a faraway land. He also found a green gem that was used as a test to call out Rayquaza but Emerald found the gem and it got attached to his forehead.

Sceptile, as a Treecko,was supposed to be Emerald's starter, however, the day he was going to recive it was the Groudon and Kyogre catastrophe. Emerald arrived just seconds after Professor Birch lost Treecko's Pokéball in the waves. Treecko was eventually found by Wally, and helped him to climb the Sky Pillar to awake Rayquaza. While climbing, it evolved into Grovyle. When they reached the top, Rayquaza's power send Grovyle flying out of the pillar, and got lost again. After that, he became a rental pokémon in the Battle Factory, he went berserk and Emerald calmed it, then he used it in the battle against Noland. After defeating Noland Emerald took it. It was later proved that this Scpetile was the same lost Treecko when Ruby and Sapphire went to the Battle Frontier and their Starters, Zuzu and Toro, recognized Sceptile.

Sudowoodo went crazy and attacked Todd Snap but was calmed by Emerald. After this incident, Sudowoodo followed Emerald. It's confirmed that it is female because of her motherly attitude.

This was a wild Pokémon in the Battle Pike. Emerald determinated that it was from Mt. Pyre. Like Sudowoodo, it followed him after the incident.

This Pokémon were loaned to him by Noland anlong with Mr. Mime and Mantine, while his Pokémon are in their match against Spenser's Pokémon. Although he did keep the ones that were loaned by him and added them to his team.
